KINDLE MY SOUL….

Back in the day, when I was just earning my first development fees as a baby producer, I bought what has always been called the Big Ass TV. A 32-inch Sony tube television. Nirvana for a movie geek living in an apartment. It was my big media equipment purchase that felt like total luxury and proved to me and all my fellow broke-ass filmschool refugee buddies that I had Arrived.

Ten loooong years later, I’m still using that TV. See, this is the part where I justify what’s about to come after by showing how fiscally responsible it is for me to make a large capital purchase because I will truly use the asset through its full lifecycle. 🙂

Which leads me to… the Big Ass Kindle. Sleek. Oversized viewing screen. Built-in wireless. No more clutter. Nothing to store. No more sad hubby pulling his hair out over all my stuff. I’m trying to save a marriage here, people not just gratify my early-adopter trendy instincts!! This even lets you search Google! And Wikipedia! And did I mention it would save space from all those books and magazines laying around the house??

The only thing stopping me from cashing out my bonds and buying one is that I just know that this time next year there really will be a fully touch-screen competitor from Apple that does everything I need. I can just feel it in my bones.
